Yes, I would have suggested the Workshop Heaven piercing saws myself, the tensioning screw on the front is a really useful touch, my only minor complaint is the handle is a bit narrower than I would like. I just wince when I see the price, I know it's still not a fortune but I picked up one of...

Difficult. I think I've said here before that wood is essentially a sideline for me, it's always part of something else or at least the motivation is something else as opposed to the woodworking itself. Most of my hobby projects are fairly multidisciplinary, may have elements of wood, metal...

This is the kind of question that makes me take a step backwards first. What are you trying to do and why do you think a coach bolt is the best way of achieving it? It may well be there is another way of achieving the same ends. Are you after the security of a coach bolt against tampering? Or...

Well the box tells you they're from the Mail, as I type this I see PerryGunn has supplied the same link I've found. Have you recently subscribed, or do you have any other relationship with them, e.g. long time subscriber, written to them, supplier or anything? I wouldn't be surprised if they...

But he's not turning, he's "lathing". Presumably in preparation for plastering.

Out of interest has anyone any experience of the cheap photographer's lights such as linked below? Looks they may be quite handy for ad hoc setups and the ability to lower the lamp right down would help e.g. under cars...

I suspect the executor will have some luck without needing a court order per se, just official confirmation of their position. If it's good enough to tidy up financial affairs I would think Apple will be happy with it. I don't really know what that means, it's not something I've ever had to do...

Also don't sleep in your socks, allow your feet to breathe once in a while.

Are you sure it is gout? I had something similar perhaps 15 years ago - then still right side of 30 - and GP had no hesitation diagnosing gout - she knew I like a pint. She did the bloods anyway and she was almost shocked it wasn't. Put me on a combination of antibiotics and anti-fungal meds on...

Plenty of school suppliers online... worth looking at occasionally simply to know what kind of things they stock as prices can be quite keen. The gotcha for things like exercise books is you generally need to get them by the 25, 50 or 100. Hope Education were the first that came to mind for...

Are you sure it isn't "gimp" pins? The design use for which was upholstery, similar in design to pictured and yes the shorter ones were more common.

It's the fumes I'd be wary of, I find they give me a splitting headache unless the room is well ventilated. Which is precisely what you want to avoid if keeping the place warm. Was seriously tempted to get one of those 40s style paraffin blowlamps a few months ago as much for toy value as...

I do understand where many of the other respondents are coming from and I'm sure I'm going to take flak, but my attitude is largely the reverse for most use cases. 99% of the use cases for a multimeter are pretty basic stuff - AC and DC voltage, resistance and continuity covers it. I use DC...

Heavyweight curtains as a divider? May need some thought around the edges to exclude draughts and possibly a zip or buttons where they meet but shouldn't be anything insurmountable.

QCAD began life as open source but the developers decided to commercialise it for later versions. People were understandably miffed and forked the last open source version to form LibreCAD.

Not quite. POTS - traditional analog phone lines - is being phased out but the copper lines are staying for the time being at least. Expect it to take decades for that to go out in the sticks. Your point about power requirements is valid though and symptomatic of a wider loss of resilience in...

Yes, PAR sizes are always on the sawn size so finished sizes are smaller, typically 1/8” per side so 1/4” on each dimension. I did compare it to CLS in an earlier version of my answer above for Pete but the only CLS I am familiar with is "3x2" which is actually 2.5x1.5 and may actually be in...

Planed All Round.

It wasn't me with a manual. I just looked into whether they had any complaints. They don't.
